[QUOTE="Broz, post: 605966, member: 7503"] The Viper PST can be purchased in a MOA turret with an MOA reticle. I feel this is a good choice to get started , in fact I have one on order for a begining friend. I will be either making him a drop chart to tape to the stock, or my own tape on the turret for him with graduations in yards out to what I feel will be the effective range of this system. Maybe for you this would be best. Get an MOA/MOA scope with a .25 moa turret. Then do a range card with proven actual drops of your combination for reference. AS you shoot and confirm dial ups for different distances, and extend your cart, or charts, you will also learn the MOA system well. Such as for example, at 600 yards I am 6" low so I need to dial up another 1 moa to make me right on. And at 700 yards I am 3 1/2" low, thats 1/2 of 7 so I need another 1/2 moa to be on. The beauty of this method will be you will learn the system and become comfortable with it as you are setting up your rifle and practicing. Also as you take it out you will start to see the affects of the different altitudes and temps from range day to range day. Then when ready it will be an easier change over to a ballistic program and hand held weather station as you will already have a familiar feel for most of it. Jeff [/QUOTE]
